Quick question about 3
I am thinking about using a 3 pay as you goes sim on a Samsung S3 as a spare phone.
However, if I leave the moblie data off, will that prevent me using the 3 sim for anything else. Will 3 cut the number off. I dont want to switch the mobile data on to have the apps on the phone using data and cost me money. And I dont want to remove the apps because I will still use them on wifi. Many thanks in advance. |

If you turn data off 3 won't care at all! What they used to care about was using a 3 SIM in a 2G phone (but this is less relevant these days!)
I thought that 2G phones didn't work on their network - has that changed? |

As long as you connect to the 3 Network at 2100MHz they don't care about using 3G data (but this only costs 1p/Mb on PAYG anyway - so hardly expensive!) |

Still lots of 2G fall back here. The Cotswolds are terrible for 3 they only really added to existing 2G masts which meant some masts were like the serving my Cotswold town a mile and a half away so the coverage is for the fields and woods.
